I just can't break the barrier of playing both hands at the same time. My right hand i happy, but my left is still slow and lumbersome. More practice I guess, but can I have some suggestions for some of the more simple pieces to practice this kind of thing with?

I think it may be time for me to get a tutor.

It would be the most beneficial to get a teacher who can pinpoint exactly why your HT is out of sync, it could be a rhythm problem or not practicing enough HS technique before you go on to HT, etc. Without knowing what the problem is it's difficult to suggest a piece.

I will however, share what worked for me: I would learn the RH part of a measure with my RH and my LH. It's tedious but it can really help strengthen the LH as well as getting the LH used to being in rhythm and independent. I would also play random major, minor, augmented and diminished chords in every key for a few minutes every day.
